Bars & pub crawls · TOURS
Everything with a guide, a route and a bar at the end of it. The 15 below are the nights worth building an evening around, with the rest of the catalogue underneath.

Walk Madrid’s Literary Quarter with a bilingual guide such as Noemí, Carlos, or Juan Felipe, stopping at up to four old-school bars for more than 12 tapas and a drink at each. Expect Spanish wines, local stories, and enough food for many people to skip dinner.
“A good way to try a lot of famous tapas in one go. Very convenient as we didn't have to queue. Guide was knowledgeable and insightful on the dishes and their cultural background. A good way to get to know Madrid!”

Walk from Wenceslas Square to Lesser Town with a guide such as Gabi, Lukas, Linton, or Keegan. You’ll visit four tucked-away pubs, receive one beer, wine, cider, or soft drink at each, and learn Prague’s history along the way.
“We had so much fun on our tour with Lukas! We learned the history of Prague and were shown great spots to visit. Lukas played games with us at each stop and make the entire tour engaging and fun for all. I would recommend this tour for anyone wanting to see Prague and have fun!”
Walk from Piccadilly Circus through Soho with an English-speaking guide, stopping at four historic pubs linked to The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, Ella Fitzgerald, and Mozart. Guides such as Ben, Gherto, Tom, Harvey, and Callum bring the stories to life. Drinks are extra.
“Great tour from beginning to end. Tom was brilliant and knew his craft. Passionate about music in general and who doesn't love hearing stories over a 1/2 pint of beer. All four pubs were crowded (cuz its December in Central London), but Tom made it work and we were always having a good time in our group of 7. Highly recommend for anyone who enjoys music stories (drinking not required, but it keeps you warm)”
Spend 3.5 hours eating and drinking through Shinjuku with a bilingual local guide. Visit four izakayas around Nishishinjuku, Kabukicho, Golden Gai, and Omoide Yokocho, with 14+ tastings, three drinks, and plenty of practical food tips.
“Absolutely enjoyed it. Taiga brought us truly interesting local places. He was very informative. Really had a great time! We also appreciated that he made special arrangements for our two vegetarian friends. Would love to do this again when we go back”
Spend three hours walking Shinjuku with a local English-speaking guide such as Nao, Naoya, Toshi, or Kei. Visit Omoide Yokocho, Kabukicho, and Golden Gai, pay no venue entry fees, buy your own drinks and food, and finish with karaoke.
“Kei is a great guide! She’s meticulous and makes sure everyone is included and gives great recommendations. Even with a large group (about 15 people) she is able to make sure no one is left out! In general this tour is great for anyone looking to get acquainted with Tokyo drinking culture”
Meet at Johnson Square at noon for a three-hour food and history walk through Savannah’s Historic District and River Street. You’ll visit about six food stops, taste Southern classics and global flavors, and hear local stories from guides such as Christina. Food and nonalcoholic drinks are included.

Walk Savannah at twilight with guides such as Rocky, Connor, Sarah, and Meghan, stopping at several bars for cocktails and stories about murders, scandals, crimes of passion, and local history. The tour lasts about two to two and a half hours and ends near the starting point.
“Sarah Foster was our guide and she was amazing. Very engaging and kept us entertained. We enjoyed the tour very much and if you are into true crime it was worth the time and money. The different pubs we stopped at were all unique and offered different peeks into the city. Highly recommended!!”
Meet your guide at the Samuel Adams statue by Faneuil Hall for a 2-hour-15-minute crawl through Boston’s colonial and revolutionary past. You’ll visit four nearby pubs, buy your own drinks, and hear stories from guides such as Anna, Julie, Maddie, Sam, and Arielle.

Expect help with Japanese menus, local nightlife stories, and possible karaoke. Guides such as Mina, Taku, Mari, and Fuka have made this a warm, social night out.

“Great way to see London when you don’t have much time. James gave us special attention, trying to fit in special events only happening that day!!!”
Meet near Shinjuku Station and follow an English-speaking guide through Omoide Yokocho, Kabukicho, and Golden Gai. You choose your food and drinks, while the guide handles ordering and local customs. Depending on the evening, the route may include sake tasting and karaoke.
